Chairman Steele on Senator Arlen Specter's Decision to Switch to the Democratic Party

Republican National Committee (RNC) Chairman Michael Steele released the following statement:

"Some in the Republican Party are happy about this. I am not. Let's be honest-Senator Specter didn't leave the GOP based on principles of any kind. He left to further his personal political interests because he knew that he was going to lose a Republican primary due to his left-wing voting record. Republicans look forward to beating Sen. Specter in 2010, assuming the Democrats don't do it first."

Republican Principles:

I BELIEVE the strength of our nation lies with the individual and that each person’s dignity, freedom, ability and responsibility must be honored.

I BELIEVE in equal rights, equal justice and equal opportunity for all, regardless of race, creed, sex, age or disability.

I BELIEVE free enterprise and encouraging individual initiative have brought this nation opportunity, economic growth and prosperity.

I BELIEVE government must practice fiscal responsibility and allow individuals to keep more of the money they earn.

I BELIEVE the proper role of government is to provide for the people only those critical functions that cannot be performed by individuals or private organizations, and that the best government is that which governs least.

I BELIEVE the most effective, responsible and responsive government is government closest to the people.

I BELIEVE Americans must retain the principles that have made us strong while developing new and innovative ideas to meet the challenges of changing times.

I BELIEVE Americans value and should preserve our national strength and pride while working to extend peace, freedom and human rights throughout the world.

FINALLY, I believe the Republican Party is the best vehicle for translating these ideals into positive and successful principles of government.

Facing Obama's Challenges!

As we face the challenges posed by Obama’s radical restructuring of the American economy, we must take steps both on the level of public policy and in our own personal finances to meet them.
The public policy actions are clear:

1. Oppose Obama’s health care proposals before they destroy our medical care.

2. Be vigilant so as to spot and out his backdoor attempts to take over the financial sector.

3. Battle against the internationalization of regulation and foreign control over our business sector.

4. Fight against Obama’s attempts to cook the census, muzzle talk radio, and force unionization of the work force, all efforts to reshape our political landscape and move it to the left.
